Answer 1

Answer:

$23,000

Explanation:

The computation of the income tax refund receivable is shown below:

Income tax refund receivables = (Loss carry back to year 2017 × Tax rate for year 2017) + (Loss carry back to year 2018 × Tax rate for 2018)

= ($20,000*35%) + ($40,000*40%)

= $7,000 + $16,000

= $23,000

We simply applied the above formula so that the income tax refund receivable is to be computed
